    An article from The Wichita Eagle really focuses on one family and how the change to longer school days has impacted them and their first-grade son. It also has some views from a few other parents and a couple of teachers and board members.

Having shorter school days has always been a disagreement. But I want to tell you why students are consistently falling asleep in class and how to fix it. School days are way too long for students to handle. Some people may think that school days are the right length or even too short. Some students may like having longer days because they would have more time to work on their homework in school since they would have extra time at the end of a class. However, I believe that school days are too long. I feel the three most important reasons why school days should be shorter is because children need their sleep if they want to be healthy, both children and teens have very short attention spans making it hard for them to pay attention for seven

Anaheim High School, a beautiful campus filled with intelligent students all around. You may tell yourself that but do we really have some of the best grades? Anaheim has too many days off for vacation and not enough school time for students to learn. In order to increase student success at Anaheim, we should have longer class periods so that students understand the material without having to be rushed and start class earlier or extend school release time until 3:30 or 4:00 pm. In the article, “Marita’s Bargain" by Malcolm Gladwell, he states, “The day goes from seven twenty-five until five pm” (9). Students at KIPP Academy are starting their classes at seven twenty-five and get out of class at five pm. They are getting longer classes which allows them to focus on their academics without having to be rushed to move onto the next topic. Anaheim High School is struggling with students being rushed and not understanding the

What many people can observe from Anaheim high school is that they don't even really do the SSR which is mandatory but isn’t working because they don’t read but rather doze off. One of our classes, we usually use this for extra time to work on the actual class. In order to increase the student success in Anaheim HS, we have to have a thinking skills class and we need a to have a longer school day to have longer class incorporated. In the researched based argument “Marita's Bargain” By Gladwell, He explains what the time does for students “What that extra time does is allow for more relaxed atmosphere” (10) and they have more time to get help for homework because it's just a thinking skills class and not their actual class. This can also help

Raising the quantity of time in class would highly improve a great mass of student success at Anaheim High School. Having a limited amount of time in classrooms makes it extra difficult for teachers to teach the material therefore students are not capable of learning it. Teachers have to plan a way on how to teach the curriculum in 45 minutes and make sure all students understood it. Consequently, only a partial amount can be used for questions and to have them answered. “ Marita’s Bargain “ by Malcolm Gladwell states that an extended amount of time in school inflates the possibilities of educational success.

The minute that everybody has been expecting for has at long last arrived. The people are inclining toward the edge of their seats, listening for the last chime to ring to unleash them to freedom. We all love it when summer vacation has arrived, but the time just passes by so fast. A high percentage of the students want there to be a longer summer vacation, but are there really any benefits? Well yes in fact a longer vacation will be associated with many benefits such as increased social life, health benefits, and educational plus financial gains.

The main point of the document is that the student need to find something they like to do and try to do it well and to learn new thing. Motivating the students to do good in school and in every thing they try to do will help them in the long run. What can also help is showing the kids to lose for in the future they can know what to do, like get back up and try harder. Student success is for everyone but it matters in the way that the student tries to pass all his classes or other things that the students have to do. As many

In Anaheim Schools, school days aren’t long enough for students to learn the material they’re supposed to know, therefore many fail their classes. Anaheim High Schools also don’t have many programs like homework club that help students succeed in their classes so they can graduate, unlike KIPP Schools that make students that need extra help stay after school. In order to increase student success at Anaheim schools, the school days should be longer and have more days. Students should also be able to get help in programs especially in math which is what most students struggle with. In the essay “Marita’s Bargain”, Malcolm Gladwell states “that’s the value of going to school 243 days a year. You have time to learn everything that needs to be learned

Schools are so much a part of our society, so the accurate length of school days is extremely important. Public opinions on the length of the school days are different. There are a lot of parents and professors concerned that it is hard for children to go to school early in the morning and stay there the whole day. On the other side, some professors try to force students into a nine hour school day. Not so many years ago, school was a main part of my life, and the school days’ structure and length affected my social life and ability to study. From my own experience and some studies that I have seen, students benefit if school days are long.

Students should stay in school so they can learn more, because the longer they are able to stay in school the more information they will never forget. If students stay longer in school, then their minds can become more like sponges and soak up all the information. “Alexander, in fact, has done a very simple calculation to demonstrate what would happen if the children of Baltimore went to school year-round. “The answer is that poor kids and wealthy kids would, by the end of elementary school, be doing math and reading at almost the same

No matter the length of school whether it is a longer school day or if it is taught year round if teachers do not teach the material the students will not learn anymore. Like many other schools, Saltillo High School has a mixture of teachers. Some teachers go above and beyond for their students and others do not. I believe that if every teacher will commit to teaching the required curriculum everyday there would be no need in making the term longer. However, if the teachers do not cover all of the material before the school year is over I think that the school board should expand the school

Some people think that we should have an 8 hour school day. Having a longer school could help

What do think when you hear student success? Many people think different things. For example, student success could be a student having a good job in something they specialized on, and are living on their own without anybody's help. There are several different ways student succeed and ways to change schools in order for their students to succeed as well in this article. For instance, Anaheim High Schools can improve student success if we have longer school days, make the student be interested in school and on what they are learning, and having more after school programs that interest kids and will keep their minds off of bad things.
